Cardiff City v West Bromwich Albion preview: Where to watch, kick-off time & latest news

West Brom travel to the Cardiff City Stadium on Tuesday looking to make it a highly impressive 10 games unbeaten in the Championship.

Victory for the Baggies will also move them back on top of the table, for 24 hours at least.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match-up.

West Brom travel to Cardiff on Tuesday 28th September. The kick-off time is set for 19:45 and is one of six Championship fixtures taking place on the night.

Where can I watch it?

If you’re not making the trip across the border, the game will be available to watch on Sky Sports Football via the red button or using the Sky Go app. Middlesbrough against Sheffield United is the featured game but coverage of the Baggies will go live around five minutes before kick-off.

If you don’t have access to Sky, the match will also be live on WBA TV for a fee of £10. Coverage begins at 19:30.

Team news

Dara O’Shea remains a long term absentee for the Baggies.

Kenneth Zohore was revealed to have been suffered with niggling injuries this past week so is unlikely to be available, whilst defender Matthew Clarke is edging closer.

Isaac Vassell and Lee Tomlin are out for Cardiff City but Ryan Giles should be back and ready to start.

Joe Ralls could also return for the Bluebirds but it will be a wait and see approach with him.

Form Guide

Cardiff City: LWLLL

West Bromwich Albion: WDDDW

Cardiff City go into the game on the back off a three match losing streak including a 5-1 hammering in their last showing away at Blackburn Rovers.

The Baggies on the other hand remain unbeaten in the league and will go into the game full of confidence off the back of an impressive 2-1 win over Queens Park Rangers.

Head-to-head record

West Brom’s recent record against Cardiff City doesn’t make for great viewing from a Baggies perspective.

Over the last 10 games, Albion have won just two - most recently a 4-2 victory in the Championship back in October 2019.

Four of the last 10 have gone in favour of the Bluebirds with the other four being draws.

The last time the two sides met, Cardiff were 2-1 winners in January 2020. Charlie Austin scoring the Baggies goal on the day.
